The Office Team
Adam Riley
As Managing Director of Rockjumper Birding Tours (Tau Anthropological Safaris sister company), Adam was key in conceptualizing and founding Tau Anthropological Safaris. A decade ago Adam packed up a career in Accounting for a more adventurous life and embarked on career in Avitourism (bird-orientated tourism) and adventure travel. This has taken Adam to destinations as far flung as the forests of Cote de Ivoire and the snowy plains of Tibet. Although Adam now spends much of his time concentrating on directing both Rockjumper and Tau Anthropological Safaris, his passion for guiding and wildlife ensures that he still travels to exotic places. There are few people that can claim to have traveled as far and wide as Adam and his vast travel experience is complemented by a passion for sharing wildlife experiences and a sound business knowledge.
